Why Post-Tensioned Concrete Is the Gold Standard for Sport Courts

Stresscon Delivers Precision, Performance, and Peace of Mind Across Oklahoma, Missouri, Kansas, and Arkansas
Whether you're building a residential backyard basketball court, a community pickleball complex, or a full-size tennis facility, the foundation you choose matters. At Stresscon, we specialize in designing and supplying post-tensioned concrete systems that deliver long-term performance and durability for sport court applications.
What Is Post-Tensioned Concrete?
Post-tensioning is a method of reinforcing concrete using high-strength steel tendons that are tensioned after the concrete is poured. This process puts the concrete into compression, significantly reducing cracking and improving structural integrity—especially important for large, flat surfaces like sport courts.
Why Choose Post-Tensioning for Sport Courts?
- Crack Control: Sport courts demand a smooth, uninterrupted playing surface. Post-tensioning minimizes shrinkage cracks and joint movement, ensuring a long-lasting, low-maintenance finish.
- Structural Integrity: The slab stays tighter and stronger over time, resisting the stresses caused by weather cycles and soil movement—particularly important in regions with expansive soils like Oklahoma and Kansas.
- Fewer Joints: With post-tensioned slabs, fewer control joints are needed, which means less chance of long-term maintenance issues or playing surface inconsistencies.
- Cost Efficiency Over Time: While the initial investment in post-tensioning may be slightly higher, the reduced need for repairs and resurfacing makes it more cost-effective over the life of the court.
